UCSRC
The UCSRC Register shares the same I/O location as the UBRRH Register. See the “Accessing
UBRRH/UCSRC Registers” on page 152 section which describes how to access this register.
• Bit 7 – URSEL: Register Select
This bit selects between accessing the UCSRC or the UBRRH Register. It is read as one when
reading UCSRC. The URSEL must be one when writing the UCSRC.
• Bit 6 – UMSEL: USART Mode Select
This bit selects between Asynchronous and Synchronous mode of operation.
